User guide

WireWorld has 4 states:

Space: represented by black.

Wire: represented by gold.

Spark: represented by red.

Tail: represented by blue.

Spark changes to tail.

Tail changes to wire.

Wire changes to spark if it's surrounded by 1 or 2 sparks.

Even with so simple rules, it's able to implement many stuff in it, even a computer.

Controls

L - load file

R - save file

X - toggle between saving the previous state and restoring it, or not

Y or Stylus - toggle between slow and normal motion

A or Stylus - toggle on/off

Stylus - Drawing, etc...
